Long Live Rock En Español
I’m standing in front of the stage at the Whiskey A Go Go wearing a t-shirt that I bought at Carnegie Hall in 1988. It doesn’t quite fit after 30 years and 30 pounds, but that’s ok. You might be asking – what in heck do the Whiskey and Carnegie have in common?It is Los…

New Year’s Resolution
Every year I resolve that I will eat healthier. On January 1 I managed to eat (in order) bagels, popovers, coffee, donuts, salami-wrapped cheese, soda cookies, chips, and pizza (with wine of course). On January 2, the oh-so-smug TV newsfolks said that I should “forgive my failures”. Failures??? Wait, I managed to get the “break…

Weather in LarryLand
According to “Chief Meteorologist” Dallas Raines (you just know that his career path was determined when he was a young lad) there is rain. Not only that, but it is “Leaving Hollywood” and “Traveling along the 5”, apparently heading out of town for the holidays. Only in LA can a storm get stuck in traffic…

Fall Into Cocktails
According to the news, Fall officially starts in August, when Starbucks releases its Pumpkin Spice Latte. I actually came up with these drink recipes last winter, and waited until actual fall (yes, it is officially fall now), to post them up. And these have one big advantage over Starbucks – these have booze.

Days and Confused
I’m at our local seafood store, smiling and chatting with the sales clerk. I’ve been going to this store for over 20 years, and she’s been there as long as I can remember (which, coincidentally, was probably last Monday). Over those years, she’s been very nice and professional. I’ve been me. I’m pretty sure that,…

Middle School Memories
There are some things that a father should not have to learn. That is how I will choose to remember middle school.
